In the historic heart of the world's largest wine-growing area, the special qualities of the soil and local climates have resulted in the development of wine-farming techniques that combine traditional with ultra-modern techniques.

The finest French grape varieties (Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Muscat, Chasan, Terret, Viognier, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Pinot, Cinsault and Carignan) are planted in our vineyards as they have the soil types and microclimates that bring out the best in them.

The vineyards have a Mediterranean climate and a perfect exposure to the sun, and to the dry North wind which is Nature's way of protecting the vineyards.

The soils are primarily of coarse siliceous gravel, with middle terrace areas of clayey gravel, and sandy lower terraces.

The differences in the soils require carefully planned planting.
The various grape varieties are thus planted in soils that best suit them.


The ideal combination of grape variety and soil thus obtained brings out their full potential, finesse and aroma.
